Ridiculous policies

Run by senior volunteer staff to service predominantly seniors in the Henderson area, they have chosen to incorporate ridiculous policies for the winter months. You do not get a cart for yourself even if you do pay for it here on Golfnow and show them the terms and conditions. If you want a cart for yourself they insist on a $20 fee. If you debate this they will threaten to remove you from the course. Additionally, all golfers must be off the course by 4:30 p.m. It typically takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours to play 18 holes. To book a tee time after 12:30 is a waste of money. It's a shame because the course is challenging and in great condition.

We quit after 12 holes as it was going to take at least 4 Hours to play. The people in front of us were very slow and the course marshal did not speed them up. We left hole 12 and drove around and the course was wide open in front of the foursome in front of us. We played hole 18 and went home. Great day, disappointing round and well over your recommended playing time.

Conditions were great and got around on a par 60 in a little less than 4 hours. Paid about the same as a few full courses we’d played in the area

Lovely Par-60

A compact course layout with a lovely driving range and putting green to warm up beforehand. The restaurant serves delicious food with friendly staff, and the cart girls come around often. I’d recommend this course to anyone who just wants a shorter round of 18, or is looking to play on a budget. While Desert Willow may be a shorter course with no par 5’s, it is demanding of your short game & requires players to be precise and consistent if they want to break par.
